SuperStorm Sandy RECOVERY

NJ Housing Recovery Center

The Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) is responsible for coordinating responses to natural disasters,
technological emergencies and severe weather emergencies in
Atlantic County. The office works closely with local municipal
emergency management coordinators to ensure a rapid, well coordinated
response to emergencies and to avoid unnecessary duplications
of service.

During times of severe emergencies or disasters
the office activates the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) which
is located in a hurricane proof wing of the Anthony "Tony" Canale
Training Center.

The Office of Emergency Preparedness
continually develops and revises Atlantic County's Emergency
Operations Plan to address the potential threats to the County.
We use what is called an "all hazards" approach to emergency
planning. This allows us to inventory and maintain the necessary
resources to best meet the needs of any challenge we are faced
with.

Training Courses - OEP On-line Campus

The Atlantic County OEP now offers a variety of training opportunities. It
is our intention to provide training for all public safety personnel
in the county, and surrounding areas. We offer a wide array of courses
for both citizens, and professionals. You can register for
courses on line and we offer direct, on-line training opportunities.
